[jira] [Updated] (LOG4J2-1561) print expected mdc info to each line of the exception stacktrace

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1561?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Zilong Song updated LOG4J2-1561:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
In some applications we need to append certain MDC information to each line of logs for a certain process, so that we can easily distinguish them from other logs, and do further analysis. But currently this information cannot be appended to any line of the stack trace, so it's hard to get the lines of the stack trace from massive lines. This issue will append this information to each line of the stack trace. 

An already known usage for this feature is that we can easily get all lines of log for a certain process when we set an ID before the process starts.

The following is the code and configuration, and the effect of it.

code:
{code:java|title=Test.main()}
public static void main(String[] args) {
    final Logger logger = LogManager.getRootLogger();
    ThreadContext.put("proc_id", "1234567890");
    Exception exception = new Exception("sample exception");
    logger.info("an exception is logged", exception);
}
{code}

{code:xml|title=log4j2.xml|}

<Configuration status="warn" name="live-im">

        <Console name="console-log" target="SYSTEM_OUT">

        </Console>

        <Root level="all">
